'Tiger Zinda Hai' snubbed at Filmfare Awards 2018 nominations
Mumbai
January 18, 2018
Salman Khan's "Tiger Zinda Hai" shook the Bollywood box
office from slumber by registering record-breaking business last year, and
"Newton" got global acclaim by becoming India's official entry for the Best
Foreign Language Film at the Oscars 2018. But the two films failed to earn a
nomination in the main categories for the 63rd Jio Filmfare Awards 2018.
The nominations list was released on Thursday.
"Tiger Zinda Hai", which
released on December 22, minted Rs 206.04 crore in seven days. The film has been
nominated in just one category -- Best Action, leaving out Salman from the Best
Actor in a Leading Role category.
As for "Newton", starring Rajkummar Rao
in a story set against the backdrop of elections in the world's largest
democracy, has nominations across six categories. But neither is Rajkummar's
widely lauded performance in the Best Actor category nor has the movie got a nod
in the main categories.
Pankaj Tripathi has earned a nomination for Best
Actor in a Supporting Role (Male) for the Amit V. Masurkar-directed "Newton",
which also finds a mention in the Best Editing, Best Original Story, Best
Dialogue, Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography categories.
Varun
Dhawan's "Badrinath Ki Dulhania", Rajkummar's "Bareilly Ki Barfi", Irrfan Khan's
"Hindi Medium", Aamir Khan's "Secret Superstar" and Akshay Kumar's "Toilet: Ek
Prem Katha" are in contention for the Best Film trophy.
When it comes to
Best Actor in a Leading Role (Male), Akshay ("Toilet: Ek Prem Katha"), Ayushmann
Khurrana ("Shubh Mangal Saavdhan"), Hrithik Roshan ("Kaabil"), Irrfan ("Hindi
Medium"), Shah Rukh Khan ("Raees") and Varun ("Badrinath Ki Dulhania") are in
the race.
As far as the female counterparts are concerned, Pakistani
actress Saba Qamar has been nominted in the Best Actor in a Leading Role
(Female) for her role in "Hindi Medium". She will be fighting for the trophy
with Alia Bhatt ("Badrinath Ki Dulhania"), Bhumi Pednekar ("Shubh Mangal
Saavdhan"), Sridevi ("Mom"), Vidya Balan ("Tumhari Sulu") and Zaira Wasim
("Secret Superstar").
Advait Chandan, who made his directorial debut with
Aamir's home production "Secret Superstar", Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari for "Bareilly Ki
Barfi", Saket Chaudhary for "Hindi Medium", Shashank Khaitan for "Badrinath Ki
Dulhania" and Shree Narayan Singh for "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" are fighting for
Best Director trophy.
The award gala will be held on January 20 here.
